Summary
Magnus Chase has always been a troubled kid. Since his mother’s mysterious death, he’s lived alone on the streets of Boston, surviving by his wits, keeping one step ahead of the police and the truant officers.
One day, he’s tracked down by a man he’s never met—a man his mother claimed was dangerous. The man tells him an impossible secret: Magnus is the son of a Norse god.
The Viking myths are true. The gods of Asgard are preparing for war. Trolls, giants and worse monsters are stirring for doomsday. To prevent Ragnarok, Magnus must search the Nine Worlds for a weapon that has been lost for thousands of years.
When an attack by fire giants forces him to choose between his own safety and the lives of hundreds of innocents, Magnus makes a fatal decision.
Sometimes, the only way to start a new life is to die . . .

Personal Reviews
Ok another book on gods but this time Norse!! Really can't believe there are so many types of gods of different civilizations. Moving on I really like the plot of the book and the story is well written. But I am angry too as to write this book Rick poorly wrote the ending of blood of Olympus. Well you have to lose something for a gain and this is just a perfect book. The life of Magnus has a nice start but what one expects is the hero of a book lives, but in this book our hero dies in the first 50 pages of the book!!!
It's a really nice way to keep your readers to stick to the book, but serious protagonist of book dies so soon and he has so many books to be published in. For the early death and interesting plot of the book I rate it 5 stars out of 5.
